To convert the equation of the line from slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to standard form (Ax + By = C), we need to get rid of any decimal coefficients.
Given: y = -1.7x + 8.5
To eliminate the decimal coefficient, we can multiply the entire equation by 10 to make it a whole number:
10y = -17x + 85
Now, rearrange the equation by moving the variables to one side and the constant term to the other side:
17x + 10y = 85
The equation of the given line in standard form with integer coefficients is 17x + 10y = 85.
what is the equation of the given line in standard form use integer coefficients
y=-1.7x+8.5
